Could be several things:
*Motor going bad
*Capacitor not working
*Improper wiring
*Resistance to airflow (coils not clean and/or blocked)
*Fan NT properly installed/positioned
Hope this helps! I'm confident there could be other causes.
overheating of the c.motor and will turn to stop or burn the winding of the compressor motor due to over heating
number of things. you could have a bad condenser fan motor. bad contactor or a bad run cap for the condenser fan motor.

No
There is an electrical drawing on the motor that tells you how to wire it.
plug out the line. chek the wireng.'
check the thermostat or the fan motor could be the problem or a leak in radiator. just a thought
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
First isolate source of smoke- was it the fan motor, wires to it fried or a pinhole leak in radiator going through fan. If the motor is burned out because of bad bearings or whatever you will have to replace the unit.
I have to assume that you are referring to the fan on the outside Condenser Unit? The most likely causes are either a burned out fan motor, or a blown Capacitor on the motor startup circuit.
Air cooled condensers are of two types: natural convection and forced convection. In the natural convection type, the air flows over it in natural a way depending upon the temperature of the condenser coil. In the forced air type, a fan operated by a motor blows air over the condenser coil.
